To clarify, by saying “all things being equal” means a camera with the same LENS, firmware, processor, software, body, etc….. To further simplify, if you take the exact same G15 with its lowly 46% efficient sensor and put a 70% efficient sensor (same size) in the same camera, it would take better images. Now, hopefully you (and Howey) will not continue to dispute that fact and look even more unenlightened then you both do right now
